< Isaiah 35 >

1 They joy from the wilderness and dry place, And rejoice doth the desert, and flourish as the rose,
تَفْرَحُ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلْيَابِسَةُ، وَيَبْتَهِجُ ٱلْقَفْرُ وَيُزْهِرُ كَٱلنَّرْجِسِ.١
2 Flourishing it doth flourish, and rejoice, Yea, [with] joy and singing, The honour of Lebanon hath been given to it, The beauty of Carmel and Sharon, They — they see the honour of Jehovah, The majesty of our God.
يُزْهِرُ إِزْهَارًا وَيَبْتَهِجُ ٱبْتِهَاجًا وَيُرَنِّمُ. يُدْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ مَجْدُ لُبْنَانَ. بَهَاءُ كَرْمَلَ وَشَارُونَ. هُمْ يَرَوْنَ مَجْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ، بَهَاءَ إِلَهِنَا.٢
3 Strengthen ye the feeble hands, Yea, the stumbling knees strengthen.
شَدِّدُوا ٱلْأَيَادِيَ ٱلْمُسْتَرْخِيَةَ، وَٱلرُّكَبَ ٱلْمُرْتَعِشَةَ ثَبِّتُوهَا.٣
4 Say to the hastened of heart, 'Be strong, Fear not, lo, your God; vengeance cometh, The recompence of God, He Himself doth come and save you.'
قُولُوا لِخَائِفِي ٱلْقُلُوبِ: «تَشَدَّدُوا لَا تَخَافُوا. هُوَذَا إِلَهُكُمُ. ٱلِٱنْتِقَامُ يَأْتِي. جِزَاءُ ٱللهِ. هُوَ يَأْتِي وَيُخَلِّصُكُمْ».٤
5 Then opened are eyes of the blind, And ears of the deaf are unstopped,
حِينَئِذٍ تَتَفَقَّحُ عُيُونُ ٱلْعُمْيِ، وَآذَانُ ٱلصُّمِّ تَتَفَتَّحُ.٥
6 Then leap as a hart doth the lame, And sing doth the tongue of the dumb, For broken up in a wilderness have been waters, And streams in a desert.
حِينَئِذٍ يَقْفِزُ ٱلْأَعْرَجُ كَٱلْإِيَّلِ وَيَتَرَنَّمُ لِسَانُ ٱلْأَخْرَسِ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱنْفَجَرَتْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ مِيَاهٌ، وَأَنْهَارٌ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ.٦
7 And the mirage hath become a pond, And the thirsty land fountains of waters, In the habitation of dragons, Its place of couching down, a court for reed and rush.
وَيَصِيرُ ٱلسَّرَابُ أَجَمًا، وَٱلْمَعْطَشَةُ يَنَابِيعَ مَاءٍ. فِي مَسْكِنِ ٱلذِّئَابِ، فِي مَرْبِضِهَا دَارٌ لِلْقَصَبِ وَٱلْبَرْدِيِّ.٧
8 And a highway hath been there, and a way, And the 'way of holiness' is called to it, Not pass over it doth the unclean, And He Himself [is] by them, Whoso is going in the way — even fools err not.
وَتَكُونُ هُنَاكَ سِكَّةٌ وَطَرِيقٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا: «ٱلطَّرِيقُ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةُ». لَا يَعْبُرُ فِيهَا نَجِسٌ، بَلْ هِيَ لَهُمْ. مَنْ سَلَكَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ حَتَّى ٱلْجُهَّالُ، لَا يَضِلُّ.٨
9 No lion is there, yea, a destructive beast Ascendeth it not, it is not found there, And walked have the redeemed,
لَا يَكُونُ هُنَاكَ أَسَدٌ. وَحْشٌ مُفْتَرِسٌ لَا يَصْعَدُ إِلَيْهَا. لَا يُوجَدُ هُنَاكَ. بَلْ يَسْلُكُ ٱلْمَفْدِيُّونَ فِيهَا.٩
10 And the ransomed of Jehovah return, And have entered Zion with singing. And joy age-during on their head, Joy and gladness they attain, And fled away have sorrow and sighing!
وَمَفْدِيُّو ٱلرَّبِّ يَرْجِعُونَ وَيَأْتُونَ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ بِتَرَنُّمٍ، وَفَرَحٌ أَبَدِيٌّ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمِ. ٱبْتِهَاجٌ وَفَرَحٌ يُدْرِكَانِهِمْ. وَيَهْرُبُ ٱلْحُزْنُ وَٱلتَّنَهُّدُ.١٠
